* And when Haman saw that Mordecai bowed not , nor did him reverence , then was Haman full of wrath . * And he thought scorn to lay hands on Mordecai alone ; for they had shewed him the people of Mordecai : wherefore Haman sought to destroy all the Jews that were throughout the whole kingdom of Ahasuerus , even the people of Mordecai . * In the first month , that is , the month Nisan , in the twelfth sh @nayim # year of king Ahasuerus , they cast Pur , that is , the lot , before Haman from day to day , and from month to month , to the twelfth sh @nayim # month , that is , the month Adar . * And Haman said unto king Ahasuerus , There is a certain people scattered abroad and dispersed among the people in all the provinces of thy kingdom ; and their laws are diverse from all people ; neither keep they the kings laws : therefore it is not for the kings profit to suffer them .
